Abstract
The deformation, the stress distribution, and the contact pressure of gaskets used in sealing flanges of CF (Con-Flat) or IPD (Improved) type were calculated to investigate the possibility of analyzing and estimatimg the sealing performance under a given tightening condition for a specific flange system.
